Poems and Poetry: I've Been Fortunate
I've Been Fortunate
I wanted you the minutes I met you
And every time I’ve been fortunate
To be near you keeping my hands
Off you is a tortuous exercise in
Self-control
It was so yesterday, it is so today
This moment and I’ll want you
Tomorrow and each day thereafter
There are some things that don’t
Need to be put in words
Anytime I look at you I feel as if
I’m falling into the dark pool of
Your eyes and there I find warmth
Understanding I can’t believe possible.
